On the one hand, it is a performance notebook with an Intel Atom-Bay Trail-T Z3740 Quad-Core processor and Microsoft Office 2013 Home &amp; Student pre-installed, the big productivity. On the other hand, it is a 10.1-inch HD touch-screen display that works as a stand-alone Windows-8.1-tablet for all your entertainment needs.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;">What people say about </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.255;"><u>ASUS Transformer Book T100TA</u> ?</span></span></b></div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: white;">Exactly what I expected -&nbsp;</b><span style="background-color: white;">I was looking for a larger tablet than my first generation Kindle. I prefer the full website experience over the mobile sites and the Kindle's 7" screen is just a little too small for that. I also wanted something that I could use in a pinch as a possible substitute for my older laptop. I considered other operating systems, but it is unclear whether Amazon Prime Instant Video runs under Android or Windows RT natively without going through hoops, so to be safe, I settled on Windows 8.1. I wanted a tablet first with an option to be an ultraportable second. I didn't want to spend $800+ on a more expensive/feature rich tablet, nor did I want a similarly priced tablet sans keyboard or MS Office and with the previous generation processor.</span></span></blockquote><blockquote><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><u>What I expected</u></span>&nbsp;</span></blockquote><blockquote><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I was well aware that, at this price point, concessions would need to be made as compared to a more expensive unit (I would have liked a full 1080p display or more RAM). I read the reviews and was attracted to the newer, faster z3740 processor vs. the z2760 that most other Windows tablets use. I also expected a relatively speedy unit, on par with my larger, clunkier 4 1/2-year-old laptop, which was a beast in its day.</span>&nbsp;</span></blockquote><blockquote><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><u>Setup and use</u></span>&nbsp;</span></blockquote><blockquote><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">As others have mentioned, the first thing I would suggest would be to let the battery charge for a bit prior to use. I was so eager to play with it that the setup wouldn't complete, as the battery would drain too quickly. After a few failed attempts, I set it aside and impatiently waited about 15 minutes for it to charge. By then, it charged to 13%, after which it would steadily charge even during use. Setup took a while, as I ran all the updates and synced to my Windows 8.1 desktop and SkyDrive.</span><span style="background-color: white;">I've been using it for the past three days and so far it runs perfectly. It is very quick. I have no qualms about the performance. I have not experienced any of the BSODs or problems others have mentioned. I've been installing apps and getting used to the modern interface and have been using those apps rather than the desktop when I can, just to familiarize myself with navigating the interface. For these apps, the touch screen is a lot more efficient than a keyboard and trackpad.</span></span></blockquote><blockquote><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><u>Pet peeves/problems</u></span>&nbsp;</span></blockquote><blockquote><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">As others have mentioned, the keyboard is very light. It's not super cheap and I doubt most people would have a problem with it. It is on the small size, but that was expected. My one real complaint is that the trackpad is not as responsive as I would like. But it's not too detrimental, as my priority is for it to be a tablet first.</span><span style="background-color: white;">The second and more minor grip is that the screen seems to be bright or dim depending on which modern interface app I use. For example, if I have the Kindle app on the left and mail on the right, when the Kindle app is in focus, the screen is bright, but as soon as I tap the mail app, the screen dims. It was probably caused by some setting that I fiddled with; I'm sure that I'll stumble across it again eventually.</span>&nbsp;</span></blockquote><blockquote><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><u>Conclusion</u></span>&nbsp;</span></blockquote><blockquote><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is exactly what I expected and exactly what I wanted. I am very happy with the price and have no reservations about recommending this product, other than to suggest that you don't pay more than retail for it.</span></blockquote><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interested with <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px;"><i>ASUS Transformer Book T100TA</i> ?

You create documents, spreadsheets, and edit photos on a chrome from Google apps developed for these purposes, but chrome does not run traditional PC-software. Instead of storing your documents, videos, and photos on your computer, save them on Google Drive (Google's cloud-based storage service), and you can access them from anywhere there is an Internet connection. If you know you want to access a file or a photo offline, you can easily save it to the built-in SSD for offline access. Chromebooks are easy to use and will not slow down over time. You have security built-in, so you are protected against viruses and malware. They come with apps for your daily needs, and keep your files backed up in the cloud. And with free, automatic updates, your chrome keeps getting better and better.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What people says about&nbsp;<i>Samsung Chromebook</i> ?</span></b><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Fantastic Value</b>&nbsp;-&nbsp;<span style="background-color: white;">I'm based in the UK and bought my unit there. However, physically this model is nearly identical to ours (to my knowledge only the keyboard layout and socket you need for charging it differs) and I've been using Chrome OS and previous Chrome hardware for a while, so I thought I'd give my take on this device.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I've owned the Cr-48 for a while, which was a kind of test unit Google sent out to people to beta test the operating system. That came out a long time ago and none of the commercial units have felt good enough to me to justify buying, up until now. They were always a little too expensive, despite the obvious advantages.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">This will be a long review. For those wanting a short summary, I'll include one at the end.</span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><u>The software</u></span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">For those unclear, Chrome OS (which the Chromebook runs) is fundamentally different to a Windows, Mac or Linux-based laptop, desktop or netbook. This is because it runs the web. No native applications exist specifically for this machine. There are apps (sometimes referred to as Chrome apps) but they also work in the Chrome browser.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Because this computer runs what many call 'just a browser' it has several advantages, as well as disadvantages when compared to a Windows machine. I've chosen Windows for most comparisons here as more people typically use Windows than a Mac or Linux machine.</span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><u>Security</u></span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">You cannot install Windows applications (or other native software) on Chrome OS. This means that the computer can operate more securely than a Windows machine simply because the computer knows what should be installed. If something is there that shouldn't be there, the computer will erase all local data and install a version of the software that's stored in a secure area. Once you're connected to the internet, you'll be updated to the most recent version of the operating system. As your settings, bookmarks and Chrome applications are stored by Google, they are also restored after the machine is reset and you log in. Typically the operating system is updated every 6 weeks, meaning bugs get fixed pretty quickly (important bug fixes will arrive more quickly) and new features are released quickly, too.</span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><u>Getting things done</u></span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">This is where the big problem is for some people; you can't install Microsoft Office, Adobe's Photoshop or other software packages. You're limited to software that's delivered through a website. Most people are perfectly comfortable with using things like Facebook, Twitter and email this way. The web offers some pretty powerful tools, though. For instance, pretty sophisticated image editing software exists on-line, as do audio and video editing tools. Using the massive resources of the internet (typically referred to as 'the cloud') means that video editing and other resource-intensive tasks can be made dramatically quicker than doing it locally. Make no mistake though, if you do need something like Photoshop it's just not possible, unless you use software specifically designed to deliver 'normal' software through the web. Companies like Citrix offer products that can do that, but given the additional cost, it's usually only big businesses that use them.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">If you don't need extremely-specialised software though, there's a lot available. Google, Zoho and Microsoft all offer tools that will let you create, open and export documents in popular formats, such as Microsoft Office. There are advantages to this approach, too. Google Docs (as an example) allows individuals to use their on-line document, spreadsheet and presentation software free of charge and, even better, you can collaborate with up to 50 people on the same document, practically in real-time. This sort of thing just isn't typically possible with traditional software. Where it is, it's likely to be clunkier than a web-based tool as a website just lets you login and work.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Calendars, Angry Birds, finance tools (Sage and QuickBooks are available through the browser) are all also available in this way. It's worth checking out if the things you'll want to do are available in this way before ordering a Chromebook.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">There are also many off-line capable applications. That is, things that will work without an internet connection. These include Google Documents (editing and viewing) Google Docs spreadsheets (viewing) and things like Google Calendar. Keep in mind though that this is primarily a device for accessing the internet. Without a connection, this device is extremely-limited. Applications delivered through a browser will get more and more capable over time, though.</span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><u>Other drawbacks</u></span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">As I've said, not everything is available through a browser. Critical things that people take for granted either aren't available or are very different on a Chromebook.</span><span style="background-color: white;">It's not possible to watch AVI or MKV video files (at the time this was written) for example, without converting them.&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">That's a big pain for some. Printing is different too, as you can't just plugin a printer on Chrome OS and have it work. For those that are curious, Google has a service called Cloud Print, which involves hooking up your printer to the internet. This approach does have an advantage in that you're able to print to your printer from anywhere with an internet connection, either from a mobile device or any installation of Chrome. For those without a printer that can connect to the internet independently of a regular computer, you can enable a normal printer by installing Chrome on a Windows machine and running it that way.</span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><u>Storage</u></span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">A key thing about Chromebooks is that they come with a 16GB hard drive. This is considered very low by modern standards as a typical Windows machine will come with a minimum of 500GB and often far more.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Google Drive is Google's solution for this. Essentially, Google Drive is on-line storage. It stores files from Google Docs and will store pretty much any type of file, too. A key thing is that it integrates with the file system, meaning you can save files directly to your account (Drive can be used on Windows and other computers, as well as Android and iOS devices) and access them from whichever device you're using.</span><span style="background-color: white;">By default, Drive comes with 5GB of storage. This isn't a huge amount, but for free on-line storage it's pretty typical. Many other services actually offer much less. However, if you buy a Chromebook you get 100GB free for two years, which is very useful given that it can be used across many devices. If after two years you're using more than whatever the normal free allowance is at that point (things do change) and you've not qualified for some other promotion, you'll no longer be able to add new files. Your existing data will be accessible, meaning files will not be deleted.</span><span style="background-color: white;">Another great thing about Drive is that files can be shared with others. Google Docs files are not counted towards your storage.</span><span style="background-color: white;">Again, it's worth noting that other great on-line storage solutions exist, such as Dropbox and Box. The difference of course is that they're not tightly-integrated with the Chromebook.</span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><u>Hardware (general)</u></span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">This new Chromebook is running on an ARM chip, the type of processor you'd typically find in a mobile phone or tablet. That may sound slow given the demands of a typical Windows machine, but it's very quick. It boots in around 7 seconds (it feels more like 5 as the logo is on the screen almost as soon as you open the lid) and you can be on-line with your normal tabs open in under 30 seconds with ease. The keyboard is extremely responsive and many professional reviewers have remarked that it's the best that's ever been on a Chromebook, which includes the much more expensive Samsung Series 5 550 machine. The trackpad, too, is very good indeed.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">The machine is extremely responsive due to it needing very few resources to operate. If you attempt to run 20+ tabs, yes, it will slow down a whole lot. But if, like most typical users, you use this for email, Facebook and the like, you should have no performance issues. Depending on your usage, the stated 6.5 hours of battery life are very close. In fact I'd suggest that you'd get more, depending on screen brightness etc.</span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><u>Other hardware</u></span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">On this particular unit you'll find one USB 2.0 port, one USB 3.0 port, HDMI out (for putting what's on your screen on a bigger screen, like a computer monitor or TV) and an SD card reader. External USB hard drives work fine in my experience and many phones are treated properly as mass storage too. However certain devices such as external optical (CD/DVD) drives will not work at all. As a commenter noted, I originally forgot to point out that this machine has no moving parts because of the type of hard drive used. This means the machine is extremely quiet and doesn't get hot.</span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><u>Miscellaneous</u></span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">It should be noted that since Chromebooks are essentially stateless (that is, they have little personal data stored on them) they can be wiped at any time without a problem and you can start over. This also means that they can easily be shared and Chrome devices (a desktop version, called a Chromebox also exists) have something called Guest Mode, which allows a friend to browse the web without accessing your settings or bookmarks and when they're done, their browsing history is automatically deleted. For those with whom you share your Chrome device regularly, you can add them to the list of permanent users.</span></span></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><u>Summary</u></span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Essentially, if you use the web most of the time (this is what most computer users do) or want a second machine that can be used without any technical knowledge for that purpose by others in your household, this is an ideal device. If, however, you like to play a lot of 'real' video games or access specialised software, chances are that this device isn't for you. That said, this device is cheap enough that you can buy one for the couch or to use while you watch television. Due to the price of this machine, it's most likely to be compared to a low-end Windows machine (which are typically very slow) or a tablet, such as a Nexus 7.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">If you want easy web access and don't care at all about typing, I'd suggest a tablet. A good quality tablet can (at the time of this review) be had for $199, including a high definition screen. But if typing and web access matters to you, I'd seriously consider this device.</span></span></blockquote><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span><br /><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Get your <u>Samsung Chromebook</u> now !</span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://bit.ly/Samsungchromebook" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="164" src="http://i.imgur.com/68ILT1u.png" width="320" /></span></a></div>Amin Elhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00578788484294123545noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055885612275397539.post-29772812981856134962013-12-13T02:00:00.000-08:002013-12-17T05:16:25.708-08:00ASUS A53Z-AS61 Reviews<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://bit.ly/AsusA53Z" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://i.imgur.com/GTAv6kc.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Asus Company has a good reputation since in a long time ago because of the quality of the product which is offering a better quality and the price.

I'm always amused by the critical comments regarding computers. I'm sure some are genuine and in those cases you usually have the option to return the unit if it does not meet your expectations.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">I think a lot of the problems that people have are user error or not taking the time to learn what you actually bought. One in particular with this laptop is the sensitivity of the touch pad. You CAN adjust the sensitivity, however, it's embedded far into the menu structure of the mouse/touchpad app in the control panel.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">There are some issues to be sure, but are no different than what you will find common with most computers you purchase. One is bloatware...software you don't need that can hinder the performance of your computer. You must methodically uninstall the excess once you determine what you don't need. What is difficult is it's time consuming, but required if your aim is to use an efficient machine.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">The one issue I find alarming is having to accept the Microsoft agreement to install the Bing Bar during setup. Luckily you can uninstall it afterwards with no consequence. I also did try a live version of Linux and it seems to work fine for those interested in another OS.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Be aware there are no backup discs for the operating system, so you must create them on your own.

This is a new laptop which produced by Apple company, it so powerful within the hardware and also the system. When you buy this Laptop, you will not feel anything although you pay it with a lot of you money but the satisfaction that you got will be higher than the money that you have been spend to buy this Laptop. Furthermore, if you want something which so powerful in system and hardware, try this&nbsp; <span style="font-size: small;">Apple Mac Book Pro MD101LL and it would be a good choice in whole of your life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Reviews about&nbsp;<i>Apple Mac Book Pro MD101LL</i></span></b></span></div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">I used to be a die hard windows fan. I was always bashing OSx for the usual things (too expensive, too dumb, et cetera, et cetera), and I never really gave it a chance. Windows 7 was my OS of choice from the day it came out, and I used it on many different computers with (or at least what I thought then) good results. It's certainly not a bad OS but...</span></span></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">This past holiday season, I got an Asus tablet PC. I wanted to love it, I really did. I gave it a five star review here on Amazon, and I tried my very hardest to use it to it's fullest potential. It was working fine for a while, until I tried the Windows 8 beta. It was all down-hill from there. Viruses, problems (beyond those that should be in a beta, and a general ugliness drove me absolutely insane, and I decided to move away from Windows, at least temporarily. I bought a Chromebook, and while I absolutely love it and highly recommend it, I wanted more out a computer than it offered.</span></span></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">So, nearly on a whim, I bought a Mac. I have never made a better tech decision. Literally everything about it is better than any computer I've ever used, from the operating system to the hardware.</span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">People typically say that the real reason they love Macs and other Apple products is because of the build quality. While the build quality on this computer is INSANELY good (I feel bad hauling it around with me; I feel like it should be in an art museum), I really think it's the software that makes this a standout computer and computing experience. I've had absolutely zero backround in OSx up until now, and already I am easily finding my way around this computer. Granted, I've had a good backround in Linux and OSx is similar, but the fact that I'm easily navigating a brand new operating system after only one day is quite the contrast from Windows, now that I can look at it objectively. OSx Lion is wonderful. The multi-touch gestures and the multi-touch mouse itself are immensely helpful, and it's because of features like these that make it clear to me that it's almost necessary for a company to make the hardware for a product if they're making the software as well. Everything works extremely well together.</span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">Like I said, the included apps put Windows to shame. With the exception of Outlook (which I personally hate, but my Mom has a Mac and can't stand the contacts App and uses Outlook), I can't think of a single, rational person who would pick Windows software over Apple software when it comes to things like media, photo/video editing, and email. To be perfectly honest, it's ridiculous how well all this stuff works. I downloaded the iWorks office suite (which is not free, though significantly cheaper than Microsoft Office), and they also work like a charm. I really don't create a whole lot of spreadsheets or slide shows so I can't guarantee a qualified opinion on Numbers (Excel) or Keynote (PowerPoint), but the Pages app is lightyears ahead of Microsoft Word. I also downloaded Logic Pro 9 (an music synthesizer/recording studio app) after having used it with friends a few months back, and have spent hours digging into another fantastic piece of Mac Software, and I can say for a fact that it is truly unparalleled in the Windows world.</span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">The actual hardware internals of the computer are amazing. The new Ivy Bridge processors whip through anything I can throw at them, and the 8 gb of fast (1600 mhz) ram makes multi-tasking a breeze. The nVidia graphics card, while not a show-stopper, is completely adequate for some heavy-duty video editing in something like Final Cut or Photo Shop (though I haven't used Photo Shop in about a year now, so I'm not COMPLETELY sure about the latter of the two statements), or gaming (whether you dual-boot or pick one of the games from the increasingly impressive OSx catalogue). The speakers, while not mind-blowing, are much better than what I'm used to from integrated laptop speakers, and the screen, even though I opted for the non-HD screen, is very good; colors are bright and saturated, the pixel density is more than satisfactory, and the viewing angles are some of the best I've ever seen. Battery life is as good as advertised, and the computer starts and runs much more quickly than I'm used to, especially considering that this computer doesn't have flash storage.</span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">I haven't run into a single thing I would change about this computer up to this point. I love the software, I love the hardware, and I love my decision. If you're in the market for an exceptional, powerful notebook, look no further. I can't recommend this computer highly enough.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">Edit: While the great things that I mentioned about OSx are all still completely viable and even after several weeks (months, perhaps?) of heavy usage I haven't experienced any problems. Mountain Lion is a great update and even though I don't own an iPhone or an iPad (I'm more of an android guy), I still like almost all of the additions it brings to OSx.</span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">However, I have since installed Windows. Bootcamp is a marvelous program, and in about 20 minutes I had Windows 7 working great on my computer. All the drivers were installed and performance was great. Once I actually started playing games though, several design flaw were suddenly extremely apparent to me, and they were apparent in a very bad way.</span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">I'm not sure if Windows is just a more demanding operating system or if a fan driver was left out of my Bootcamp install, but the cooling of this computer when doing ANYTHING intensive under Windows is absolutely atrocious. The unibody design is gorgeous. It's revolutionary, it's stylish, it's classy, and it has major practical issues. The vents are hidden under the hinges of the screen, and anything but the most perfect of screen angles will block off much of the fans output. Even with the fans blowing full blast at nearly all times while running Windows, the computer gets extremely hot during usage. I use a laptop as a literal "lap" top computer frequently. This works fine under OSx; it's impossible under Windows. The bottom of the computer gets painfully hot during heavy usage (to the point where I literally can't touch it for more than a few seconds), and the metal area (ironically) around the "wasd" keys gets extremely hot as well. I've had the computer completely overheat three times only in the past two weeks. Since I only play online games, this isn't a real issue, but I can't imagine what would happen were someone actually doing something important on a Windows partition and have the computer overheat and shut down. Even with good ventilation (meaning smooth granite surfaces and a laptop stand specifically designed to enhance ventilation), there is no avoiding an extremely hot computer and constantly whirring fans.</span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">Long story short, I'm very glad they improved the fan design in the Retina Display Macbooks, because it is, frankly, very, very poor here.</span></span>&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">I'm conflicted on whether I should change my overall rating of the computer though. Even though Macs are equipped (through Bootcamp) to run Windows, they weren't designed to do so, and I certainly haven't had a single issue while running (the far superior) OSx. Considering the fact that I should be basing my opinion of the product on its own merits and not on those of a competing product, I don't think I will change my overall scoring. I do think it is prudent to add, however, that cooling while running Windows 7 is terrible. If you NEED Windows, stick with a Windows computer. They will most likely handle Windows better than this one will.</span></span></blockquote><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just&nbsp;<b style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">One-Day Shipping</b>&nbsp;for you.

When we looking to the hardware of this laptop, it gives us a very fast booting and loading many programs, and it becomes so fantastic Laptop because we will find many Laptop with slow loading and booting especially when the system is Window 7 or even Window 8 Beta. But if you try this kinds of Laptop, you can feel the real satisfaction as many as possible just in one Laptop that is Acer Aspire AS5750Z-4835 Laptop.</span><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><b>Review about&nbsp;</b></span><span style="line-height: 18px;"><b><i>Acer Aspire AS5750Z-4835</i></b></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">I had a nice single core laptop when I bought this one but when Fry's put it on sale for $279 I couldn't resist it, and tried to. It has a great screen, 500 gig HD 4 gigs of RAM and a really slim form fit. As others have stated it boots very fast. One of the things that I really like is the textured outer skin, this helps from it sliping out of the hand when putting it in a case. I would highly recommend buying and installing Norton 360 before ever getting on the web to keep it booting, running and shutting down fast (you gota keep those nasty little critters out of it). I haven't used battery yet but I will soon, I think 4 hours is good for me. We have a friend, you know the one that has to keep up with the Jones's, he saw my new Acer and went to Fry's to buy one but they were out(so he said), sooooo he spent $600 on another brand laptop with a A6 processor and had to call me over to see it. Well I couldn't resist but to bring my Acer over and we ran the some test on them and the difference was negligible (not worth another $320 or what I would say another Acer) and he's only going to use it for his checkbook and surf the web. What a lamo. I would have just gotten a rain check and buy it latter. I don't game either but I do a lot CPU intense things with it and so far I am VERY satisfied with it !</span></span></blockquote></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal; text-align: start;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">So, what you waiting for get this laptop ?</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: normal; text-align: start;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://bit.ly/AcerAS5750Z" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="164" src="http://i.imgur.com/68ILT1u.png" width="320" /></a></div>Amin Elhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00578788484294123545noreply@blogger.com0
